Re-pinning of the CM I/O (gray) harness is required, regardless of which type you choose to use, both options have been provided for your selection. If you choose hazards you will also need to configure the selected POC for one of the following hazard control options, Hazard1 (POC option #30 (momentary) or Hazard2 (POC option #23 (latching), depending on hazard switch operation.
• Locks: The CM lock connector is not required for this installation type. Door locks are handled via data signals so analog connections are not necessary. Secure the harness connector as needed.
